John Perry: It does not apply.

Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (6 Feb 2007)

John Perry: I move amendment No. 6: In page 6, line 19, after "sea" to insert "or an oyster bed,". These amendments relate to aquaculture licences, which I have spoken about previously. I am keen to ensure that oyster fisheries be included in this section. It is unfortunate that this legislation neglects to refer to the protection of wild oyster beds. I hope these amendments will be accepted. The...

Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (6 Feb 2007)

John Perry: It is regrettable that the 1959 Act does not apply to Moville. I respect Deputy Keaveney's remarks because she knows better than anybody how sensitive the issue is there. The derogation in the 1959 Act does not give the Minister many powers with regard to the implementation of what would apply elsewhere in the State. As Deputy Keaveney stated, there should be enough for everybody in Lough...

Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (6 Feb 2007)

John Perry: The same operator would not fish for both mussels and oysters. I accept theMinister of State's comments. However, it is important that the scientific survey of the waters would indicate what capacity there should be for each licence to be granted. If there is public consultation with all vested interests, the lack of trust could diminish.

Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (6 Feb 2007)

John Perry: I thank the Minister of State and his officials for the briefing provided to Deputies on this complex legislation. The Fine Gael Party was pleased to co-operate with him on progressing this important cross-Border legislation. I understand the reason clarification cannot be given in certain areas. The new cross-Border body will set an example for future management of inland fisheries. I...

European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

John Perry: There has been significant debate on this issue all morning and there is much objection to the introduction of the Bill. There was also much debate over a sea fisheries Bill, with the Supreme Court finding it in breach of a directive. That debate focused attention on other Departments and was at the time very controversial because the Minister stated there was difficulty in imposing EU laws...

European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

John Perry: The statutory instrument is not an Act, it is a catch-all measure. This comes back to Kennedy and the Attorney General. It is regrettable that we did not include all the orders in this Bill. We are talking about 1972 and a statutory instrument is not an Act of the Oireachtas. There is no debate on the impact of this and for every action there will be a reaction. Deputy Durkan spoke on the...

European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

John Perry: Does statute law apply to directives involving the imposition of a fine?

European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

John Perry: We were speaking of the six-year statute bar. How would this impact on the constitutionality of a case that went back 12 years? This will give a wrong signal, even if this involved attaching all the orders to it. This involves thousands of statutory instruments and directives. Ireland has benefited considerably from Europe and in every sense the Irish experience has been a success story,...
